camouflage

i love the camouflage on this moth. it’s a woodland moth, so imagine it resting on a branch or the bark of an oak tree. it would be hard to spot indeed. at first, i had placed the moth on the mottled L-shaped schist rock, but it blended in so much it got lost. while that was sort of my point, i think this composition that let’s him show off a little more was ultimately more harmonious. i don’t know about you, but my eye wanders around the four subjects of the composition in a continuous loop. it’s rather pleasing.
